Go to England or wherever he lives, find him, knock on his home-door and talk to him. Should work.

hahaha. Whats funny is that I have done something this stupid before when I was younger and on a european vacation. me and my friend were basically huge Jean-Luc Godard fans and went to Rolle Switzerland to find him. I basically had found an address to some random office in rolle. We showed up in this small ass town and camped out at the cafe next to the address, smoking and drinking coffee all day hoping to spot him. And as luck would have it, I remember looking up and seeing him but not believing it. My friend blurted out, "your right its him" we ran out of the damn cafe and chased him in the streets. I started yelling out his name and wait in french and he started walking faster. I then blurted out in english his name and wait and he stopped dead in his tracks. I then caught up with him. By this point, i was basically about to pass out from shortness of breath, and the craziness of it all. I then started to talk with him, and tell him that we had traveled 5 thousand miles to talk with him etc blah blah, he had this smile on his face at first, probably thinking how crazy this is, which started turning into a small but discernible look of concern, probably thinking this is how stalkers probably act before stabbing you. Sometime at this point he said sorry I cant and started walking away and a pace that was more than brisk which turned into competitive walking. My friend then caught up with us, and asked what happened I told him, at which point he ran after him to give it the old college try. He caught up with him and told him something to the effect, we have come all this way to see you, to which godard replied, "that was a mistake". as he was walking away, my friend yelled out "Contempt was the most beautiful film i ever saw" and with that godard walked away into the city streets and us back to the smokes and coffee. It was strange as we were both really sad at first getting back into the train, but the more we thought about it and talked about it, the more it became apparent just how amazing an event happened to us that day. We did meet Godard, and to this day, anytime that story comes up i do get a great smile on my face.
So dont think I wouldnt actually try this if I knew diggers home address.
